Lovely Blogs I Love To Follow - Day 22

Today has been a day of tidying and trying to do things that have been left for a long time.

My craft room has been trying to get a little bit of an organisational makeover with not much success! I am sure that it will happen one day in the future just not right now :-)

I have also been adding things to my blog.

First of all you can now follow Stephie's Treasure Trove via email with the new widget I have added to the right hand side of this blog. All you have to do is enter your email address and you will get updates for the newest posts on this blog.

Second of all I have now added a 'Lovely Blogs I Love To Follow' page to this blog. This contains a list of other bloggers that create the most wonderful things. I always look forward to reading these peoples posts and thought that it was time to share this with the people who read my blog!

Today this is what made me smile the most...

It is the completed piece that Liz from That Fuzzy Feeling has been working on. I have been following her on the progress she has been making for this beautiful piece and the waiting was definitely worth while!


Come back tomorrow for the next installment of 365 Blogging!

Happy blogging everyone and thank you for following.

Easter And Clay - Day 21

HAPPY EASTER

Hope that everyone has had a great easter today and probably eaten that little bit too much chocolate :-)

I found a little bit of clay left over from another project so I used it to make these...

Just a few random bits, beads in the making and things to hang on the wall. They will be drying for a few days so will post again when these have been painted!

Fabric Brooches - Works In Progress - Day 20

I have been busy today so I have not had any time to be crafting. However the house is quiet now and I am going to get on with some of my many things that are currently in progress to be finished. These are a few pictures of the things I will mainly be making into brooches but some will also be made into little bracelets, necklaces and rings. I will post these when they have been completed in one of my later posts but for now this is what I have...

Felt WIP Finished - Day 19

I have finally finished my felt Hammerhead badges that I have mentioned in previous posts and I am really pleased with them.

Hammerhead badges by StephieStephie

I like the way that the black backing felt makes the colours stand out more and also unites them as a series! They are my fleet of RAINBOW HAMMERHEAD BADGES!

These have been made in red, yellow, pink, green, orange, purple, blue and white with two of each. These are a trial and will be added to my shop shortly.

I found a little bit of striped fabric and I was wondering what to do with it? I had been making some more of my hammerhead dolls to put into the boutiqur in town so I was thinking af some kind of plush toy maybe? Anyway I was getting pretty tired and just wanted to make something simple so here it is...
